Solano County, CA – On the evening of Tuesday, March 25, 2025, a head-on collision on Highway 113 left a 63-year-old man dead and another driver with serious injuries, according to CBS13.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reports that the accident took place around 7:43 PM near Hay Road, south of Dixon.
Emergency responders arrived to find two vehicles involved in a severe head-on collision. Both vehicles were occupied only by their respective drivers.

The investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the California Highway Patrol’s Solano-area office.
